Teeth
Peeling oranges
Disguising bad habits
Then I'd toss the sweet flesh
Sacrificed to blanket tar on fingertips
Breaking my neck to drink straight from the faucet
I got my shirt soaking wet
And I'm hot in the face in public
You wouldn't come to my defence
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it's juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Put me to bed with a story from behind your eyelids
I thought you were psychic
But I could be convinced that this t-shirt's clairvoyant
Fresh and permanent bleeding in the cab of the truck
Led to a total disaster
The kind of mess you throw out and try not to think about
We wouldn't talk about any of it now
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it's juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Smile for me and show me how you've been eating
Had a dream you looked the same but your heartbeat was different
And a grifter knows a grifter in an instant
Disguising bad habits
Then I'd toss the sweet flesh
Sacrificed to blanket tar on fingertips
Breaking my neck to drink straight from the faucet
I got my shirt soaking wet
And I'm hot in the face in public
You wouldn't come to my defence
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it's juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Put me to bed with a story from behind your eyelids
I thought you were psychic
But I could be convinced that this t-shirt's clairvoyant
Fresh and permanent bleeding in the cab of the truck
Led to a total disaster
The kind of mess you throw out and try not to think about
We wouldn't talk about any of it now
Look at your hands stained dark
Say it's juice from the berries
But my bellies been the colour of a late summer cherry between teeth
Smile for me and show me how you've been eating
Had a dream you looked the same but your heartbeat was different
And a grifter knows a grifter in an instant
